Attica – WorldVision 83


Lyre ‘n’ Rhapsody – Oson Zeis






Lyrics & translation



Back from vacation and we feel the post-travel depression hitting us already, so we are gonna deal with it, with some relaxing folk music from ancient Greece. For this edition, Attica is proud to present you, a very old musical masterpiece. "Oson zeis", or as it is widely known as "Seikilos Epitaph" is the oldest surviving complete musical composition, including musical notation, from anywhere in the world, dated around 200BC. The song was found engraved on a tombstone in the hellenistic town of Tralles, near Aydin of Turkey and is dedicated from Seikilos to Euterpe, which is believed to be probably his wife or mother (Euterpe is also the muse of music, according to greek mythology).
I really hope you are going to appreciate this little gem as much as i do! xheart

Monsieur Minimal - Never Give It Up




Lyrics

If i could ever built a world for you
this would be our heaven
and if could ever choose to be born again
this would be in your heart

cause today i found a really magic place
a place that i remember
where a boy meets love for the first time
the love of his life

i see the fire in the sky
every night i am dreaming
i feel the fire in my heart
every night is getting stronger


well i don't want to grow old
unless i grow old with you
and i don't want to stay at home
my home is with you

all i want to do is to find
find the way to your heart
cause you,you,you are my god
and i am your son

i hear the sirens at nights
every night i'm missing
missing your tender smile
this is worst than dying

we should not
we should not
we should never give it up



xlove xlove xlove

Cyanna Mercury ☿ There Will Be A Time





Lyrics

There will be a Light - so bright
That everyone will see
Everyone will see everything
Everything

There will be a Night - so dark
That everyone will sleep
Everyone will sleep peacefully

There will be a breeze so cool
That everyone will feel
Everyone will feel everything
Everything

There will be a Time so high
That everyone will dream
Everyone will dream blissfully

All of this not now but after
All of this not here but somewhere
Not in this land
Not in this life but later, later

It takes time it’s alright
It takes time it’s alright
Later, later



xbow xbow xbow

Katerina Stanissi and Lana Del Rey - Salvatώre




For this edition Attica is sending a lovely humoristic entry. The surprising duet “Salvatώre” (with the greek letter “omega”, replacing “o”) between the American pop star Lana del Rey and the famous Greek folk singer Katerina Stanissi, is nothing else than a part of the graduation project of the Athens School of Fine Arts’ student, Lida Stamou. As she said, her purpose was to bring together her 2 favorite singers and unite the completely different music worlds they represent. Katerina doesn’t speak a word of English (thus the funny pronunciation) and her voice is obviously too husky for a song like this, yet she was not afraid to expose herself and she immediately said “yes” to Lida’s request. The shooting and recording were done raw (and unfortunately not in a “professional” way at a studio, due to lack of money), spontaneous and with much love.
The video became viral in Greece, with Katerina stating in one of her interviews ; “I did not know her (Lana) but it seems like we have more in common than I initially thought” :lol: #Goddess
Do I need to say that Lida’s work got an “A” from her teachers? :lol:


Vote for Attica xcheer xcheer xcheer xbow xbow xbow xlove

Re: ATTICA WV 87 | Nefeli Walking Undercover –To Re Kai To Mi Ap’ Tin Iremia

::atti Attica - WorldVision 87 ::atti


Nefeli Walking Undercover –To Re Kai To Mi Ap’ Tin Iremia




Lyrics & translation






Nefeli Liouta, or as she is more known by her stage name, “Nefeli Walking Undercover” is Attica’s representative for the 87th edition. Hugely talented and multitasking, the 27 yo Nefeli is an Athens Law School graduate, a violin teacher, she makes and produces her own music and she is also a writer of children novels.
Her song “To Re Kai To Mi Ap’ Tin Iremia”, is included in her first and most “personal” album “Ta molyvia komandos” (trnsl. “The commando-pencils”), a unique piece of art, that I suggest you to discover. Nefeli’s style is mostly described as “experimental-folk”. In the instrumentation of her songs, she uses apart from regular instruments (violin, acoustic guitar and tambourine) natural and raw sounds, such as clapping, hitting of hands on wooden tables, iron closets, plastic washing bowls and steps on the floor. As for her lyrics’ style it’s rather poetic, a bit dark maybe, but full of sensitivity. xheart
I really hope you will love this little amazing song as much as I do.

Eteronimisi feat. Gianna Vasileiou - Gorgones




Translation

Mermaids

Mermaids swim in my dreams
and i'm a boat on the seashore
i cannot get enough of watching them
but i'm unable to touch them

The sea of love is drowning us
the same sea is giving birth to us
i cannot find my way anymore
i'm not finding vindication anywhere

There will be a night i will sail
for a faraway land
in the ship of the horse
we shall meet you and i

Re: ATTICA WV 89 | Leon Of Athens feat. Fonές - Aeroplane

::atti Attica - WorldVision 89 ::atti


Leon Of Athens feat. Fonές - Aeroplane



Lyrics




So...this is my last entry for Attica *cries in attican dialect*. For this edition i decided to go indie-pop. Leon Of Athens officially becomes the first (and probably last :lol:) artist who has competed more than twice. Generally, I don't like to overuse singers (although 3 participations in a time span of 5 years seems reasonable) but the reason why i wanted to say "goodbye"
to my beloved region with this song is because Leon is an artist who totally deserves another chance as he had been terribly underappreciated in his previous two attempts. Furthermore, the song's lyrics totally represent my current mood, so i wanted to share it with you, WV people! :mrgreen:
Leon, however, is not the only returning artist for Attica in this edition. "Mantissa", Marina Satti is also making a comeback, but this time, as the conductor of the girls' choir!
Hope you enjoy this amazing little song! xheart

Thnx Daniel! xcheer Truth is that i could not decide between the studio version and the church one. I went for the latter cause i am a sucker for good live performances, especially when they are atmospheric and warm...Whether i did the right thing or not, it's something i'll never find out...:mrgreen:
